I could post the lottery numbers and it’ll still get downvoted, it doesn’t stop me being wrong, our team is worse through continued selling and our manager is worse than before as we got him on the cheap, he is out of his depth.
Yeah, I just read the downvotes so I don’t know why you got them.
But as I was one of the, now 5, downvoters, I’ll tell you why I did it.
It’s not the substance of what you’re posting, it’s the way you’re posting it.
I see other members are now questioning Puel, the team, our tactics, etc.
So you’re not alone in holding those views, but the language you’re using is unique to you - as is the frequency with which you make the same point in different threads.
…our team is worse through continued selling and our manager is worse than before as we got him on the cheap, he is out of his depth.
You see, if you’d posted just that then I’m guessing that instead of downvotes you might actually have got some upvotes.
Hehe …you should post this on the darkside GB. Your blend of ironic humour/common sense will get 'em smiling, while simultaneously educating them to the error of their ways
I’m struggling if I’m honest. We’ve become a very slow and predictable team under him. Our creative players seem to all be failing to deliver match-changing moves. His possession over everything else philosophy seems to be responsible.
So do I have confidence?
Yeah, I think I still do although it’s being tested. I’ve seen the players do what he wanted from very early in his tenure. That tells me he is a good coach. He’s intelligent and I think he’ll learn that the Prem isn’t like taking Lyon to the Champions League semifinal.
All of that from someone that wasn’t particularly impressed at his appointment. At the time I thought it was risky to change our from-the-under-8s-to-the-first-team philosophy for his diamond approach. In reality he’s been bending that philosophy during his tenure.
So I’ll give him a while longer because, whilst I am a twat, by and large I’m not a knee-jerking, bed-wetting whopper.
Aren’t you concerned that we might simply get someone worse?
We are getting worse, worse from last season as we have worse players, that’s obvious so add to that a manger who is also the teams performance is undoubtedly going to be poorer, this is a slow run down and sell whilst still in the Premiership policy from the board, I was laughed at for saying a while back what is the point of an academy when we sell, why simply buy and build players like West Brom, if they get Schneiderlin they’ll have a very useful team under Pulis, whilst we’ll have good players ready to be sold under a poor manager, what is the point?
We are clearly missing something because we are not creating enough, but we are in a very competitive league so thinking we can walk into the top six every season is naive.
Sacking managers regularly has never worked for anyone so I don’t think we should introduce that as a policy.
Puel needs to be given time, and the players need to pull their fucking fingers out.
And you don’t go from tactical genius to ‘inbred cunt’ in a fortnight unless the fans are fickle morons with worthless opinions.
If I was Forster I would despise the fans who abuse me with a passion - there must be nothing worse when you are struggling than to to get ridiculed by your own fans.
So the manager, the players and some of the fans need to have a fucking good look at themselves - and then we can hopefully move forward together.
Does anyone genuinely have confidence in Puel? Seriously do they? His choices, his tactics? He is woeful. Who will go in the transfer window as well?
TBH Baz, I’m not entirely convinced by Puel either but haven’t given up on him yet. My feeling is there’s a lot more to come from him but we’re going to have to wait until next season to see it.
Our inconsistancy is very frustrating but to be fair on him he came in at a time when the shockwaves from RK’s departure were still reverberating and he’s been thrown in at the deep end with a relentless schedule of 2 games a week ever since. Hasn’t given him much time on the training ground to work on things. Any manager would need time under such circumstances. Pepe Gaurdiola is a prime example of that and Klopp didn’t exactly set the world on fire last season.
